Computer Science at KJ Somaiya is one of the most in-demand branches. So you will see that the cut-off marks are definitely a bit higher than other branches. There are a few vacancy rounds conducted after CAP rounds to fill the remaining seats. You can expect the cutoff to drop then by a little bit.

The CS minority round placements (CAP rounds) end at the MHCET score of 150 at least. You can expect these to drop to about 135 to 140 later but the overall scenario is almost the same every year.

You can look for the vacancy round forms on the college website and you can keep checking for them from time to time.

The college fest is not that great and interesting as compared to other colleges where the fests are organized in a grand way but this is slowly improving as both the students and the college are putting in efforts to make it better.
